Had the same problem with the player (WinXP) stopping video even though 
the stats window show the stream still coming and the audio keeps 
playing.  Tried watching with IPTV viewer by saving the .sdp as a .ipt 
file.  Video worked.  No audio.  As usual, the quality of IPTV player 
video is much better than Quicktime.  Seems I can run both players, get 
the audio from QT and the video from IPTV:-)  Can't really tell how good 
the audio sync is since the current content (music videos) is not well 
suited to checking for lip sync.
